Off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts – at one time the whaling capital of the world as well as Melville’s inspiration for Moby Dick – a hulking groundfish trawler sets off into the surrounding murky black waters on a weeks-long fishing expedition. A groundbreaking, immersive portrait of the contemporary commercial fishing industry, offering a vivid, almost-kaleidoscopic representation of one of mankind’s oldest endeavors: against the sea waves.
